CVE-2026-31457

EUVD-2026-24796
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/damon/sysfs: check contexts->nr in repeat_call_fn

damon_sysfs_repeat_call_fn() calls damon_sysfs_upd_tuned_intervals(),
damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_stats(), and
damon_sysfs_upd_schemes_effective_quotas() without checking contexts->nr. 
If nr_contexts is set to 0 via sysfs while DAMON is running, these
functions dereference contexts_arr[0] and cause a NULL pointer
dereference.  Add the missing check.

For example, the issue can be reproduced using DAMON sysfs interface and
DAMON user-space tool (damo) [1] like below.

    $ sudo damo start --refresh_interval 1s
    $ echo 0 | sudo tee \
            /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0/contexts/nr_contexts
